Important Added Info: ARE YOU UNFAMILIAR WITH GLASS SLIDES? Many collectors are not familiar with them, because they are incredibly rare, and are rarely offered for sale. Click HERE for a brief history of what they are and what they were used for. Note that we have provided two images at right for this glass slide. The first image is a high quality scan of just the image area of the slide that shows what it looks like with light shining through it (as it was originally seen when displayed). The second image is a photograph of the entire glass slide (including either the cardboard holder or black tape around the edges, depending on the type of glass slide it is). Clicking on either image will open a new browser window with larger, high quality versions of both images. Condition: good to very good. there is a long diagonal crack across the slide, but it is only in the back piece of glass and not in the front one; it runs from the lower part of the left corner of the slide diagonally up through the mummy's neck just touching the top of the "M" of "MUMMY" and running through the "RL" of "KARLOFF" and on to the top of the slide; when light is shined through the slide, it is truly not very noticeable at all (which is why it barely shows in our scan) there is some slight surface "frosting" over much of the image area, but it disappears when you look at the slide through light (and may be easily removable); there is a white circle between the glass in the lower left corner that does not affect the image); the slide does not have a cardboard holder, but rather there is black tape around all four edges (front and back), typical of older glass slides Learn More about condition grades
